The Tasting & Catering Experience
A fully customizable, turnkey setup tailored to the aesthetic and flow of your event.
1. The Signature Tea Flight Bar Perfect for large-scale mixers and wellness fairs. We set up an elegant, minimalist tasting station featuring 4 to 5 of our signature artisan blends and herbal infusions. Guests are invited to freely explore the stations, receiving a tasting cup to sample dynamic flavor profiles at their own pace.
2. The Guided "Mindful Pause" Tasting Ideal for intimate team-building retreats or VIP client appreciation. This structured format focuses deeply on 1 to 2 specific botanical flavors. We guide your group through an educational flavor journey, exploring the origins of the herbs, the health benefits of the natural ingredients, and the artistry behind the perfect brew.
3. The "Tea Bar" Retail Pop-Up Perfect for high-traffic community mixers or large-scale resident socials. We provide a full cafe-style setup where guests can walk up, explore the botanical menu, and order their preferred cup size on-demand. This format offers maximum flexibility, allowing the host to cover an open tab or having guests purchase their own hand-crafted infusions directly.
4. Interactive Customization We provide everything needed to discover the dynamic range of each sip, including premium sweeteners, fresh lemon, and chilled carbonated palate cleansers. Looking to elevate the experience further? We seamlessly integrate with your chosen caterer to pair our botanical infusions with pastries, sandwiches, or treats.
5. The Take-Home Retail Experience (Optional) Allow your guests to extend their wellness journey. We can provide a curated selection of our pre-packaged, foil-lined kraft pouches (measuring a sleek 3.5 by 5.5 inches) so attendees can easily purchase and enjoy their favorite Jasper & Gold botanical blends at home.
